Living Costs
In addition to your course tuition fees you'll need to allow for living costs.

The average living expenses for an international student or a local student relocating is approximately AUD $16,000 to AUD $20,000 per year (AUD $310-AUD $450 per week) to cover food, accommodation, telephone, gas, electricity, transport and entertainment. This will change depending on where you stay and the lifestyle you live.

Banking
There are a large number of local and foreign banks and other financial institutions in Australia. There is also a large network of Automatic Teller Machines (ATMs) that allow you to withdraw cash 24 hours per day, 7 days per week without going into the bank.
